I'm using Keychron K2 - https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-wireless-mecha...

So far it was great, I love tactile sound of a mechanical keyboard. There is some sort of pleasure in it. But to be honest, it's easier to use MX keys or an Apple Keyboard. Because my hands get sore after writing couple of hours without break.

Would I suggest K2? Yeah it's a great keyboard but If I'm on a market for Mechanical Keyboard I would buy K8 or C1 because I hate to press fn key everytime I want to control volume etc.

On a Mac you can change the keyboard settings where it makes media keys the default.

+1 for Keychron K2.

I really enjoy mine and it was one of the only ones (maybe the only?) that came with a default Mac layout, Bluetooth with USB-C, and the smaller form factor.

Fortunately having clear requirements made it easy to shop for, but unfortunately it’s hard to meet those requirements lol.

There is 0 way to measure productivity boost unless you’re just trying to see if it makes you type faster so I wouldn’t use that as a metric or decision factor.
